ing how the killing of Green and Eden
came about He said that last Friday
night some thirty of forty members of
the Bald Knob company To- which he be-
longed were called together by Dave
Walker, its chief, To go down To Swan
Creek and pour out some Illegal whis-
key which was being sold When the
party got near Eden's house, some of the
young men proposed to go there and
have some fun" and started for the
house. headed by VIM. Walker, son of
the chief. The latter called them back
and tried To persuade them not 10 go.
but they gave no heed to either advice
or command and went to Eden's house.
where they mashed in the doors and win
dows and killed young Eden and Green
VIM. Walker was shot i'm the assault on
the house. and left his shotgun and
mask in Eden's yard. He was car
lIeved To be concealed in the woods. He
is said To he seriously wounded. having
received a ball in the groin. which is
supposed tn have been fired ny the elder
Eden when his doors Were torn down.
As soon as this confession was made
Sheriff Johnson handcuifed the men
most seriously incriminated by Inman
and they were greatly overcome when
they heard that lnman had confessed.
Preacher Simmons was one of those who
attacked Edens house. A strong guard
has been placed over the prisoners. as it
is apprehended that the Bald Knobbers
will attempt a rescue. Inman has been
sent to Springfield Jail at his own ur-
gent request, he being in mortal terror
of being lynched. He says he joined the
organization under protest. being forced
at the muzzle of the gun with rope
round his neck to swear allegiance TO
the deadly fraternity. He has had no
sympathy with the band and has attend
ed their meetings because lac was afraid
tn refuse to do So. Ii is believed that
the arrest of these men and their trial
will break up the organization and every
effort will be- made To that end.
